Do IVF hospitals have side effects?
The IVF hospital is an assisted reproductive technology, which combines sperm and eggs artificially and cultivates them in vitro, and then transfers embryos to women's uterus for pregnancy. Although IVF technology has played an important role in helping many infertile couples realize their dreams, people have doubts about whether there are side effects during IVF. This article will elaborate on this issue from four aspects.
1. Side effects of drug use
In the process of IVF, women need to be treated with ovulation promoting drugs to promote ovulation and increase the probability of pregnancy. However, these drugs may have some side effects. Common side effects include mood swings, breast pain, headache, nausea and endometrial thickening. Although these side effects are generally temporary, patients should pay close attention to signs and communicate with doctors in time during drug use so as to adjust the medication plan.
In addition, hormone therapy may increase the risk of multiple pregnancy. Multiple pregnancy has certain risks to the health of pregnant women and fetuses. Therefore, doctors usually control the amount of hormone and do not stimulate the ovaries.
2. Risk of in vitro fertilization
In the process of IVF, sperm and egg need to be combined in vitro, which also has some risks to some extent. For example, egg damage, improper sperm handling or inaccurate operation may lead to fertilization failure. In addition, in the process of embryo transfer, intubation, endometrial fertilization and other operations may also bring some risks.
In order to reduce the above risks, IVF hospitals usually provide professional medical teams with relevant training and technical guidance to ensure the success rate and safety of the operation. At the same time, when choosing hospitals, patients should also pay attention to selecting formal and technically excellent medical institutions.
3. Impact of psychological pressure
Infertility itself is a psychological burden, and the waiting and anxiety in the process of IVF aggravates the psychological pressure of patients. In particular, if the treatment fails many times or when waiting for the result of embryo transfer, the pressure may be more significant.
IVF hospitals usually provide psychological counseling services to help patients face psychological pressure during treatment. In addition, the understanding and support of family and friends are also crucial to the mental health of patients during IVF.
4. Sterilization risk and other complications
There is a certain risk of sterilization during IVF. Due to frequent in vivo manipulation and the use of assisted reproductive technology, women may face the risk of fallopian tube and uterus damage, leading to sterilization. In addition, complications such as trauma, infection and allergy may occur during IVF.
However, the incidence of these complications is relatively low, and the continuous progress of modern medical technology and the improvement of medical equipment make these risks well managed and controlled. Therefore, when selecting IVF hospitals, patients can judge their risk control ability according to the hospital's qualifications, technology and equipment.
summary
The side effects of IVF hospitals mainly come from drug use, in vitro fertilization, psychological pressure and sterilization risks. These side effects and risks have been well managed and controlled under modern medical conditions, and standardized treatment under the guidance of doctors will generally not have a serious negative impact on patients' health. However, patients should be careful when choosing hospitals and follow the doctor's advice to ensure the safety and success rate of IVF process.
